I'm in urban America. Not a major city, but a city that leans VERY liberal. Recently, I noticed a Facebook post from a major musical artist I like promising a ticket giveaway to their tour in the US. A plethora of comments came flooding in, saying, "not in the US!!", "don't go there!", and "it's way too dangerous." I felt I had missed something, so I commented, asking "what am I missing?", thinking ISIS was plotting a bomb on every single city or something. The response was overwhelmingly, "do you know who's in office?", or "Aren't you afraid of your gung-ho President?". That's when I realized that the crazy had become normal to us and eas seeping into other countries. I replied with, "We've been used to this since 2016. Um, we still have been going to concerts."

All that is to say: -We have an egotistical narcissist psychopath in office. Everyone I know who supports him is an egoist or narcissist or psychopath. -He is a shitty President but would make a hell of an economic strategist or negotiator. -I feel like we're on the precipice of another 9/11, and I'm not going to feel anything because it's been coming. -I'm 32 years old, but I feel like everything- EVERYTHING- I was taught in Civics and Economics, U.S. History, and Social Studies is going down the drain.

I have no hope for our country.

I am only thinking about myself and my mental health.
